Your RelationshipsO Take some time to reflect and fill out
the worksheet.O It will not be graded on content. This
is for you!O When finished, please place in your
advisory folder.
Personal ChallengeO Pick one important relationship in
your life that is damaged and you want to repair. It may be with a sibling or a parent or a friend. Now commit yourself to rebuilding that relationship one deposit at a time.
O The other person may be suspicious at first and wonder what you’re up to. But be patient and stick with it.
Personal Challenge, Cont.O Remember, it may take months to build up
what took months to tear down. But little by little, deposit by deposit, they’ll begin to see that you are genuine and that you really want to mend the relationship.
O Think about if the shoe were on the other foot. How would you feel if you knew a friend was making the effort to repair the relationship with you?
O No one said it would be easy……..O But you can be sure it will be worth it.
